Chapter 2059 (Raw 2154): Identity Exposed
Pei Shaoxuan simply behaved like a madman, attacking at the drop of a hat without any warning.
He smashed his palm down, and countless clumps of scarlet flame formed many talismans that covered the sky and the sun. Then, they rained down with a strong wind, appearing like a storm.
“They are Flame Demon Talismans!”
“Quickly, leave!”
When Xiao Chen saw the blood talismans covering the sky, he entered deep thought, These talismans are very hard to withstand.
They will burn in the body after striking one, burning one’s blood and continuing to burn until they burn the soul.
For a regular cultivator to release one such blood talisman would already be terrifying, and it would be extremely hard to deal with.
However, when this Pei Shaoxuan attacked, he covered the sky in blood talismans, inspiring fear in everyone.
“Humph!”
Wenren Yu gave a cold snort and quickly plucked the zither strings with both hands. Sound waves turned into seven-colored arrows that shattered the terrifying blood talismans.
Even so, many blood talismans continued to fall to the ground. The Heavenly Fragrance’s Holy Daughter sighed softly and took action.
Flute music rang out, sounding like the sounds of nature. Then, it slowly merged with the surroundings.
Space rippled like water, and the many blood talismans gradually faded away and finally disappeared.
The contrast made it clear whose Music Dao was superior.
“Young Master Pei, this is the Heavenly Fragrance’s residence. The ones here are our guests. Please do not be rude.”
The voice of the Heavenly Fragrance’s Holy Daughter betrayed neither joy nor rage. Her tone sounded calm and serene.
Pei Shaoxuan withdrew his hand before smiling. “My wife, I’m helping you chase the flies away and am not being rude. All of you fellows keep staring at my wife; do you all want to die?”
Pei Shaoxuan’s tone suddenly changed midway, and he withdrew his smile, glaring ferociously and malevolently at Wenren Yu and the others.
Wenren Yu said indifferently, “Pei Shaoxuan, if you want to throw a crazed fit, go away to do it. Don’t be so brazen in the Holy Daughter’s residence. Others might fear you, but I don’t!”
Pei Shaoxuan smiled and said, “Haha! For the sake of chasing after my wife, you completely embarrassed the Profound Heaven Holy Land. Today, I will completely embarrass you. Let’s see how you are going to continue the act!”
“Boom!”
Pei Shaoxuan gave a war cry, and a boundless scarlet flame burned, covering half the sky.
The flame moved like surging waves, putting huge pressure on everyone. Pei Shaoxuan’s Demonic Qi soared, making the scarlet flame surge even more ferociously and inspiring fear in others.
The expressions of the people below changed. This Pei Shaoxuan was indeed a madman.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, a person appeared amid the scarlet flame. He reached out and collected the scarlet flame filling the sky into his hand.
With a flip of his hand, he appeared as bright as the sun and the moon, appearing before everyone. The terrifying mysterious phenomenon instantly vanished.
Xiao Chen’s eyes lit up. The person who made a move was Drunkard Cui, who ferried him over earlier.
“Blood Flame Son, the City Lord issued an order. The Holy Daughter is his honored guest. If you continue messing around, I can only capture you and toss you into the Peach Blossom Wall to feed the fish.”
Fear flashed in Pei Shaoxuan’s eyes. However, he felt extremely upset in his heart. This old fellow is ruthless; I can’t make out his expression. To think that he did not release the flames back to me immediately!
After a moment, Pei Shaoxuan revealed a faint smile as he said, “Senior is joking. I was only passing by and did not think of causing trouble here.”
“Humph! You know what my temper is like. If there is a next time, I will not bother with speaking any nonsense with you.”
Senior Cui snorted coldly. Then, he shifted his gaze to the Heavenly Fragrance’s Holy Daughter and said, “Holy Daughter, did this fellow startle you? If he did, I could chase him away now.”
“It’s fine. He can stay here if he wants as long as he does not act impudently and attack others.”
Senior Cui did not dwell on that topic. He looked at the scarlet flame in his palm and said indifferently, “I’ll keep this Blood Flame for you first. I’ll return it when you leave the city.”
Pei Shaoxuan waved his hand and said, “Hehe! Take it. If Senior Cui can help me refine it further, I will be very grateful.”
Senior Cui ignored Pei Shaoxuan and directly disappeared from everyone’s sight. He came quickly and left equally quickly.
Iron Egg murmured, “It turned out that Uncle is so strong.”
On the roof, Pei Shaoxuan did not show any care. He guffawed as he landed on the ground.
Pei Shaoxuan landed beside Iron Egg and patted Iron Egg’s shoulder. “Little Brother, you have pretty good taste. I’ll sit beside you. Come, come, come. Everyone, continue. Just pretend that I’m not here. What were you all talking about earlier?”
Pei Shaoxuan sat down without any reservations. However, this made the others uncomfortable.
No one answered, but Iron Egg remembered. He said, “They were trying to make Big Brother Xiao apologize earlier, saying that I humiliated the Holy Son and that Big Brother Xiao failed to discipline me.”
Pei Shaoxuan smiled and said, “You people only know how to look down on others. You see that this Brother Xiao is not from any sect or faction, so you think he is easy to bully. Haha! I wonder if you would dare to make him apologize if you knew that this Brother Xiao here is the ruthless person who has been uprooting the Heavenly Slaughter Sect strongholds.”
“What?!”
The moment Pei Shaoxuan said that, everyone’s expression changed radically. Countless gazes immediately shifted to Xiao Chen.
“So, it is you!”
“Recently, the Righteous Dao sects and Demonic Dao sects have clashed more than one hundred times in the Desolate Sea. It turned out that it was all because of a mixed-blood dragon that is not even a Sovereign Personage!”
“He is really bold!”
The uprooting of the Heavenly Slaughter Sect’s strongholds had triggered a chain reaction near Peach Blossom City. The Heavenly Slaughter Sect did not know who was responsible. Thus, for the sake of venting its anger, it took revenge on all the Righteous Dao sects in the vicinity.
The extremely delicate balance between the Righteous Dao sects and the Demonic Dao sects collapsed. The various major factions made their moves, inflicting extremely great losses on both sides.
This matter had already spread everywhere. However, who could have expected that the cause was this fellow who was not even a Sovereign Personage?
Xiao Chen’s expression did not change, even though he felt startled in his heart. Now, he finally understood why Sang said that he would find out what kind of trouble he had gotten into when he arrived in Peach Blossom City.
Pei Shaoxuan paused for a moment to look at Xiao Chen. He then continued with a smile, “Do you know why the Profound Heaven Holy Son came here? Besides chasing after my wife’s beauty, he is also here to mediate the storm between the righteous sects and demonic sects. Soon, Wang Yun, the Heavenly Slaughter Sect’s Young Sect Master, will rush over, as well.”
Xiao Chen’s heart sank. Unexpectedly, there was such a matter.
Wenren Yu put away his zither, and a strange look flashed in his eyes. Turning to Xiao Chen, he asked, “Young Master Xiao, did you really destroy eighty-odd strongholds of the Heavenly Slaughter Sect?”
Given Wenren Yu’s question, it seemed that Pei Shaoxuan’s words were more or less accurate.
Xiao Chen nodded and replied casually, “That’s right. I was the one who eradicated the Heavenly Slaughter Sect’s strongholds. Does Holy Son Wenren have any advice?”
“You damn fellow, do you know that you caused huge problems for us? Do you think that just anyone can touch the Demonic Dao factions? You are nothing in the Desolate Sea. It is not your place to play the hero. If the Demonic Dao factions could be gotten rid of so easily, they would have been eradicated long ago. How ignorant!”
“This time, my Fire Flame Sect had ten-odd strongholds destroyed. More than one hundred people died.”
“Our Water Cloud Sect is also in a rather miserable state. The branch that we spent more than one hundred years developing nearly got destroyed.”
“Our Scarlet Firmament Gate suffered even more. One of our branch Elders fell!”
Before Wenren Yu could say anything, a group of Rank 7 sect true inheritors and ancient Noble Clan disciples glared at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen laughed mockingly, “So, you are blaming me?!”
“If we don’t blame you, who can we blame? If not for you, how could such a huge storm appear?” Someone continued arguing, unwilling to let this go.
The Heavenly Fragrance’s Holy Daughter said softly, “It looks like everyone has forgotten their purpose in coming here. I would like to speak to Xiao Chen alone. Would everyone please go back first?”
The Heavenly Fragrance Holy Daughter’s tone already contained some displeasure.
The others also felt that causing trouble in the Heavenly Fragrance’s Holy Daughter’s residence was somewhat overboard.
Everyone quickly apologized before taking their leave.
When Pei Shaoxuan appeared, this gathering should have ended already.
Now that Xiao Chen exposed his identity, there was no need for them to remain.
Before the Glacial Mountain Manor’s Ye Han left, he glanced at Xiao Chen and smiled faintly. Then, he sent a voice projection, Young Master Xiao, if you have time, you can come to the Glacial Mountain Manor’s residence to meet me. I have some things I would like to discuss with Young Master Xiao.
Before Xiao Chen could answer, Ye Han left with the others.
As Wenren Yu left, he looked at Xiao Chen and said, “If Brother Xiao would like to resolve some of the past conflicts with the Demonic Dao factions, you can get in touch with me. I have some influence in this matter.”
However, Pei Shaoxuan smiled coldly at the side and said, “You might as well look for me instead of him. His words count for nothing.”
Wenren Yu left with a smile, ignoring Pei Shaoxuan and pretending that Pei Shaoxuan did not exist at all.
“Are you not leaving? If you still don’t leave, I’m afraid that you won’t be able to leave even if you want to,” the Heavenly Fragrance’s Holy Daughter asked, giving Pei Shaoxuan a smile filled with hidden meaning.
Pei Shaoxuan smiled awkwardly. “My wife, you really know how to joke. Husband will leave first. When there is no one around next time, we will have a carefree chat.”
Before leaving, Pei Shaoxuan looked at Xiao Chen and said, “I find you pleasing to the eye. If the Heavenly Slaughter Sect’s Wang Yun comes to look for you, just report my name. It is definitely more useful than Wenren Yu’s.”
After the place emptied, the noisy and bustling Heavenly Fragrance’s residence fell quiet.
When Xiao Chen looked up, he noticed that the sky had turned dark at some point in time.
He looked at the Heavenly Fragrance’s Holy Daughter and asked, “Holy Daughter, why did you ask to speak with me alone?”
